Guys i have 2 guns i need to get when they were made. Both Winchester first is a 12 gauge pump but has a hammer. ( like the ones you see on a western ) and the other is a heavy Octogon barrel 44-40 lever action rifle. Is there any way to tell by serial # on the guns??? I know there are a lot of smart people on this matter on here thanks for the help...............
